I am trying to use kickstart to install RHEL 4 WS from my FTP.
The problems are following:

1. client host can not get DHCP server response.
Press Alt+F3, the message is:
"pump told us: NO DHCP reply received.
eth0 isn't a wireless adaptor"

I sure my DHCP server is work.
The client host can used it's old OS to get IP address from DHCP server.

2. client host can not use static IP to install.
After client host get IP from DHCP failed. I tried to use static IP to
install from FTP. The client host did not connect to FTP server.
Press Alt+F3, the message is:
"reverse name lookup failed"

I sure the client host can connect to FTP server by it's old OS.

3. can not use installation disk to install from FTP.
I used installation CD to install from FTP. It can not get IP address from
DHCP server and can not use static IP to connect from FTP too.

I have try 3 version installation disk(original, update 1 and update 2).
The 3 versions are the same problem.

Have any idea? Thanks!

PS: The same way on RHEL 3 WS is ok.
